I'm a little biased when it comes to my tater tots...but having said that, I also avoid them because they aren't exactly the most healthy snack in the world and I am trying to watch my carbs. It's amazing how when you're in your twenty's you can literally eat anything...but once you get up there in age you come to realize, that just isn't the case any longer. I do love how colorful these tots are and the cheese inside will no doubt make them yummy, but do you think almond flour can be used instead of panko?
